He's right......I've dropped a paintball into a glass of water before......even though it does swell to a great size, it doesnt keep the same color.......as the ball fills with water, the paint sinks to the bottom and the water sits on top. So the top of the ball should be almost clear........I agree, it's either a gumball or a bouncy ball

Its a paintball. Every think of shell color? Ive seen clear balls but only because of the shell color. In my room i have a ball that been out side for about a year i found under my snake. Its about a cm tall and is filled with powder.

I shot a bunch of paintballs over the winter in my yard and in the spring i found someof them that looked just like that.

I've found a bunch of them back in the woods before. If you don't believe him, drop a paintball in a dixie cup of water.

Paintballs do swell. My mom found one in the yard and called me out to look at this "wierd" mushroom. It had been there bout a month.
I dropped one in a hot cup of water, and after a few minutes poked a hole in it with a needle underwater. Try it, it's hilarious.

wow, first of all, I dont have a tv in my room, so that's either my window or my bedroom light. Anyway, if you guys really, really want, I'll go put another one outside and let it swell again, then film me squishing it and crap. I can go find the old shell of it if you want... its outside... Anyway, it was an old Draxxus Midnight. And it did lose some of its color, the other side was more yellowish cause of the fill.
